New Managed Service for Apache Spark (formerly Google Cloud Serverless for Apache Spark) subminor runtime versions:

  • 1.2.89
  • 2.2.89
  • 2.3.42

Key updates in these runtime versions include:

  • Feature updates:
  • Apache Iceberg 1.10: In the 2.3 runtime, Serverless 2.3 batches with Lightning Engine now use Apache Iceberg version 1.10 by default.
  • Parquet footer caching: Enabled Parquet footer caching by default for Lightning Engine (Velox) in the 2.3 runtime. If executor out-of-memory (OOM) or task failure spikes on tiny files are observed, these can be mitigated by setting spark.gluten.sql.columnar.backend.velox.cacheParquetFooters=false.
  • Lakehouse catalog: Enabled Lakehouse catalog auto-loading in the 2.3 runtime using the spark.dataproc.lakehouse.project property.
